Cheap GPU for Folding@Home?

[TheGhzGuy]

Hello all!

I'm looking to place a GPU into an old desktop I have lying around (Has PCIe 3.0) (I also have a 500 watt PSU) and I was curious which GPUs could be used for accelerating computing. Any GPU that retails around 20-30 dollars normally on EBay is ok with me.

 

Thanks in advance.

 

Also, no, a 750 Ti doesn't go for that low.

look around, you might be able to find a 750 or 750ti used on ebay for that price, or go for anything you can find F@H needs an ATI/AMD HD 5000 series or newer or Nvidia 400 series or newer... try to find a mid range HD 7000 or newer or mid range 600 or newer

One can find a 500 series (like a 570) fairly cheaply. I was looking at 6950s but those might be too much.
